2. Write the mixed repeating (recurring) decimal number as an improper fraction.

  • 1.628728924 can be written as an improper fraction.

  • The numerator is larger than or equal to the denominator.

Set up the first equation.

  • Let y equal the decimal number:

  • y = 1.628728924


Set up the second equation.

  • Number of decimal places repeating: 1

  • Multiply both sides of the first equation by 101 = 10


y = 1.628728924

10 × y = 10 × 1.628728924

10 × y = 16.28728924

Get the same number of decimal places as for y:

10 × y = 16.287289244

Note: 16.287289244 = 16.28728924


Subtract the first equation from the second one.

  • Having the same number of decimal places ...
  • The repeating pattern drops off by subtracting the two equations.

10 × y - y = 16.287289244 - 1.628728924 ⇒

(10 - 1) × y = 16.287289244 - 1.628728924 ⇒

We now have a new equation:

9 × y = 14.65856032


Solve for y in the new equation.

9 × y = 14.65856032 ⇒

y = 14.65856032/9

Let the result written as a fraction.



Now we can write the number as a fraction.

According to our first equation:

y = 1.628728924

According to our calculations:

y = 14.65856032/9

⇒ 1.628728924 = 14.65856032/9


Get rid of the decimal places in the fraction above.

  • Multiply the top and the bottom number by 100,000,000.
  • 1 followed by as many 0-s as the number of digits after the decimal point.

1.628728924 = (14.65856032 × 100,000,000)/(9 × 100,000,000)

1.628728924 = 1,465,856,032/900,000,000
